What color is Behr Laurel Tree?
Behr Laurel Tree S390-5 is a muted mid-tone green with a noticeable gray cast and soft olive undertones. Its restrained saturation keeps it from reading overly leafy or bright, giving walls a grounded, weathered appearance. In warm daylight, Laurel Tree can show more of its earthy yellow-green side, while cooler light brings forward the gray in the color. It suits kitchens with natural wood cabinetry, a study with aged brass hardware, or an exterior paired with warm white trim. Try it alongside oat-colored linens, charcoal accents, terracotta, or light oak for a layered palette with natural texture.

LRV of Laurel Tree
Laurel Tree has an LRV of 27.69% and refers to Medium colors that reflect a lot of light. Why LRV is important?
Light Reflectance Value measures the amount of visible and usable light that reflects from a painted surface.
Simply put, the higher the LRV of a paint color, the brighter the room you will get.
The scale goes from 0% (absolute black, absorbing all light) to 100% (pure white, reflecting all light).
Act like a pro: When choosing paint with an LRV of 27.69%, pay attention to your bulbs' brightness. Light brightness is measured in lumens. The lower the paint's LRV, the higher lumen level you need. Every square foot of room needs at least 40 lumens. That means for a 200 ft2 living room you'll need about 8000 lumens of light – e.g., eight 1000 lm bulbs.
